12Hatred stirreth up strifes: But love covereth all sins.
13In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14Wise men lay up knowledge: But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: The fruit of the wicked to sin.
17He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: But he that refuseth reproof erreth.
